It seems like moments ago that we were counting down the weeks, days, minutes then seconds until the first market day. We will never forget how the first day at 3:00 felt. Waiting. Anticipating that first market customer. Hoping that we were on the right track!

17 market days later - we are now counting down the days before our last market day of the season. A bitter-sweet moment, to say the least. It has been such a blast! From the first planning meeting at Lazy Daisy with Dawn's tireless encouragement to the first phone call to a farm, meeting inspiring leaders from other markets, to the mural with Nicola, setting up the first tents, the student volunteers, the music, the weather (oh the weather!), the undying support of the community, it goes on and on. The bitter, we will miss EVERY minute, every person, every morsel of food. The sweet, we will take some time to create, plan and plot for next years season!

Come join us to say so long to our market for this season. Take a minute for a last shop, a last chat with the farmers and vendors and to enjoy the music and bonfire.

Bonfire starts "around" 5:00 - depending on weather.

Please, be safe. Children should be with an adult. Unattended children will not be allowed near the bonfire. Costumes are not recommended.

Music

For our last market we play ode to our market regulars with one new guest to kick us into next seasons eclectic music line-up.

Cooking Demo: Chef de Maison, Michelle Wolfson

Michelle is coming by again to show us how to cook up a storm and do a pressure cooker demonstration.

Come early for this - between 4:00-5:30.

Wooly Wednesday a Big Hit!

It was a feast for the eyes, hands and heart as we dug into Stoddart Family Farm wool, learned how to weave from the very talented Deborah from Upper Canada Weaving, got the kids working with wool and raised awareness about The Street Knit Project.

Please, send us pics of what you make the Stoddart wool, your street knit projects or any other projects inspired by this day.

The community was so responsive, Sylvia Stoddart has asked to come back once a month next season!
